Chapter 1060 Not the First Time
"Dai'er, are you fully recovered? If not, don't force it. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself first." Zhao Yuanjing said unhurriedly, "Now that Concubine Jing is in charge of the harem, it's okay Nothing happened. You don't have to worry."
Yun Dai said: "I'm almost recovered. I can stay awake during the day and won't delay my work."
"Really?" Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyes to look at her, "In that case, let Concubine Jing return the Phoenix Seal Golden Book to you."
Yun Dai felt a little awkward for no reason after hearing this.
Although Zhao Yuanjing immediately agreed to her request, it seemed that he meant that it would not matter even if Concubine Jing was in charge of the harem from now on.
"Is the emperor very busy these days?" Yun Dai sat on a chair nearby and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing responded, frowning, "As July approaches, heavy rains have fallen in various places, and the Huaihe River has burst and flooded, and the people on both sides of the strait have suffered a great disaster."
Yun Dai was worried after hearing this.
The most worrying thing every summer is the flooding of the two rivers.
This can not help but bring disaster to the people along the coast, and will also trigger subsequent reactions, namely severe plague and drought.
River management, food and silver are the most important things at the moment.
Hundreds of thousands of people became victims of the disaster, and some died of hunger and drowning every day.
As the king of a country, anyone who has a little sense of responsibility will have trouble sleeping and eating because of it.
Recently, Zhao Yuanjing has been staying in the Imperial Study Room, discussing these matters with groups of ministers. It has been several days since I returned to Chengqian Palace.
In other words, Yun Dai has not seen him for five or six days.
Yun Dai asked: "Is the court short of money and food now?"
"There is no shortage for the time being." Zhao Yuanjing said, "A batch of land silver just arrived last month, about three million taels. After autumn, there will be about four to five million taels of silver in the warehouse. At least we can barely cope with it this year. ”
The so-called land tax and dingyin refers to the combined tax of land tax and corvee labor.
Although the late emperor was relatively extravagant and wasteful, there were many adults in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he still had a solid foundation. After the situation has slowed down a bit over the past six months, the recovered tax money has finally alleviated the embarrassing situation of the national treasury being empty.
When Yun Dai heard about it, she felt relieved.
The real estate matter she proposed has already earned a wave of money, and the follow-up matters will not happen in a day or two. As for the arsenal, this early stage is a money-burning business.
On the contrary, the merchant navy has made a lot of money in the past two months.
He can make profits of tens of thousands of taels of silver in a month.
This is very rich.
This fully proves that Yun Dai’s original suggestion of selling tea, porcelain and silk was completely correct.
The current leader of the caravan is silent, so he admires the queen so much that he only wishes he didn't have the chance to see her beauty.
Of course, these are small things.
Of course Zhao Yuanjing would not ask his queen to go to see a minister just because of such a trivial matter.
After Yun Dai talked to Zhao Yuanjing for a while, she didn't want to disturb him from reading the book, so she stood up and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Concubine Jing walking in.
No one even said a word.
She came in so naturally.
Apparently...
This is not the first time.
Jin Yao came with a tray in her hand.
When Yun Dai saw her, she realized that Concubine Jing had become much more beautiful after not seeing her for a while.
In the past, Concubine Jing was always sick because of her natural heart disease, but now she is in full swing and does not look sick at all.
